Growing Melons for Profit.

In growing melons for market there
should be three points considered viz.
size, quality, and productiveness. The
best melon is the one that has the largest
share Of these good qualities combined.
A melon may be of the largest size, but
bear SO few to the vine that they cannot
be grown to any profit. Again, the
quality may be so poor that they may be
o drug in the market. Or variety may
be very productive and of fair quality,
but so small that but few melons will be

PureFOOdf orthe Children

-Apure food that may not seriously affect the stronger
digestive organs OF an adult will frequently cause the most
serious illness in a child. Too frequently this important fact
is overlooked, and children are made sick from eating articles
that have been taken by adults without apparent injury.
A childs food is largely cakes and bread, and these arti-
ces when light, sweet, and composed of materials free from
deleterious substances are easily digested, nutritious, and
wholesome. But there i s a danger to our children lurking in
their bread and cake apt to be lost sight OF. When these
articles are made from pure and wholesome baking powder,
they are much more healthful and nutritious than when pre-
pared from yeast or other leavening agent. But the danger
arises from the fact-as shown by the tests made by the
Government chemists, and by many State and Municipal
Boards OF Health-that most of these baking powders are so
impure as to render the food unwholesome. In fact, chem
ical analyses have developed the fact that all the baking
powders now upon the market, with the single exception of
the Royal Baking Powder, contain either lime, alum, phos-
pilates, or acids of an injurious character. Therefore, when
bread or cake is made with the use of these adulterated
baking powders, the ingredients pass into the delicate
organs of childhood, and are the source Of very much of
the disease with which our children are afflicted.
Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing girls,
young children, and many ladies, are particularly liable to
the evil effects produced by the adulterants found in these
cheap baking powders. Heartburn and the prevalent forms
Of Indigestion are often solely traceable to their action on the
delicate coats of the stomach. Prof. Willard Parker, U. S.
Surgeon-General Hammond, Prof. Alonzo Clark, and other
eminent physicians all over the country, have spoken most
earnestly of the evils arising from such food.
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder are unquestioned. The official reports of the
U. S. Government Chemists have put this fact beyond all
controversy. Prof. Mott reported that the Royal was un-
%doubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder made. 8.
Prof. Loves report showed it to be of the highest strength,
while Prof. McMurtrie, Chemist-in-C Chief of the q. S. Agri-
cultural Department, at Washington, D. c., found the Royal
the only baking powder in the country free from both lime
and alum, and absolutely pure.
There should be as much care in the choice of a baking
powder as in obtaining pure milk, or in having a prescription
compounded from pure drugs and not from poisons. Pure
bread and cake arc assured only by the use of the Royal
Baking Powder.

The Ice Haulers, strike.

The ice haulers working for Ellis,
Miller & Murray, on the contract of fur
nishing ice for Denver, struck work yes
terday and demanded an advance in
wages of from sixty cents, the old price,
to seventy-fve cents per load. The
strikers were about twelve in number.
The men working on the ice. about
twenty, were much incensed against the
action of the haulers. as it deprived them
of work for the time being, and if any of
the haulers had made their appearance
around the lake it would have gone rough
with them. The strikers thought that
their employers were under bond to fur
nish the ice, and felt quite confident that
their demands would be complied with.
1t happened, though, that they struck
just at the right time, for the contractors
received notice from Denver last evening
not to cut any more ice until it became
harder

Receiver Ellis, recently appointed to the
Denver land Office, spent last Sunday in
this city, being the guest of register Will
son. In an interview with a LEADER re-
porter MI. Ellis stated that the Denver
land Office enforced the same regulations
regarding land Office publications as the
Cheyenne Office, the register being re-
quired to designate the paper in which
the notice is to appear. 1t is evident
that the Denver land office has recently
experienced a change of heart and con
science, as in November and December of
last year, the mode Of doing buslness at
the said Denver land Office was not as
stated by Receiver Ellis. In November
last James H. Mackley, a resident OF
Grover, Col, and q subscriber to THE
LEADER, called at this Office with a final
proof notice. made a contract for its pub
LEGATION and paid the price agreed upon.
When the advertisement was completed
in December, the certificate of publication
was sent to the Denver land Office, Mr..
Mackley made his final proof and finish
ed his business at the land office. Ii this
case be like others, and we have no reason
to doubt it, the register of the Denver
land Office does not control the advertising
OF land notices; he does not receive the
money for the advertising. aud only des-
ignates the newspaper, which happens to
be the choice Of the person who pays for
the advertising. as the paper in which the
notice is to be inserted. Register Wilson,
on the other hand, dictates to his patrons
in which paper they shall advertise, they
must pay the money to him. and and if
they express any preference regarding the
paper that is to receive their money, they
are told that they have nothing whatever
to do with it.

AN C PRESENT.
Mr. ahd Mrs. Deuel. Presented With a
silver Tea Set.

About $50 o'clock last evening a mum
Der of gentlemen friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. A. deuel., called at their residence
and walking in, laid a beautiful solid silver
tea set upon the parlor table. The reci-
rients were taken completely by surprise
and hardly realized the purpose of the
visit until, by an eloquent and beautiful
presentation speech by Chief ustice VIM.
l.. Maginnis, they were formally presen-
with the elegant token, bespeaking for
them the esteem in which they are held
by their many friends in this city. Mr..
Deuel. then responded in a few well chos-
en- remarks, extending his heartfelt thanks
for the beautiful present.
The set is something beautiful to look
at, being Of solid silver and handsomely
engraved, the letter I'D" being Upon all
the pieces, and in the center of the large
silver platter is the inscription Presented
to Mr.. and Mrs. Deuel. by Cheyenne
Friends"
Mr.. Deuel. has long been a resident in
this city as superintendent Of this division
of the Union Pacific railway, and it is
with a feeling OF much regret that his
many friends see him transferred to
another station of the road. Mr.. Deuel..
his wife and family will all depart this
morning for Omaha, and a large number
of their many friends will undoubtedly be
present at the depot to bid them farewell.

will be for $500 a side, the shooter from
this city to be P. Bergersen, and from

His Herd Increased too Fast.

The son of a prominent man in public
life has Just returned to Washington from
a years experience in the cattle business
in Utah. He says: | raised a company
here, principally among my friends, and
we invested $50. 900. 1t took $50, 900 of
that to buy our range. $1,000 to get me
u there and buy our outfit, and the rest
we put into cattle and expenses-princi-
pally expenses. My cattlemen got into a
row with a neighbor and his men ran our
cattle down into the canyons. Then our
foreman took it into his head to sue for
his pay, and although l had made an ex-
cellent report to the company, somehow
things went wrong. My report stated
that we had enjoyed an increase of 100
per cent, and that was the case. | don't
know that any efour men stole any calves
from our neighbors. f~dpn-t know that
our cows had more than one calf apiece,
but somehow we found on our roundup
that we hak l20 per cent increase. This
is what broke us up. Cattlemen are used
to 80 and 80, and in rare cases to 100 per
cent increase, but they could not stand
100. The cattle association in that dis
trict held a meeting and passed resolu-
tons that it was impossible for any herd
to increase at such a rapid rate. and cal
ling upon the delegate in congress to in
vestigate the case, and wound up by Civ
ing me three days time to get out of the
territory. | am now going down to pass
